Book Reviews of Hunger: An Unnatural History

Book Review: Hungry for a better book
Summary: 2 Stars

Some extremely interesting (and concisely reported) material trapped in what I found to be a boring narrative. Basically, whenever the POV switched to the not-so-very-interesting experiences of the author, the book lost whatever momentum it had gained as a lesson on the subject of hunger.
